No Mercury retros this month, always a positive thing! But there are two full moons, the first in Scorpio and the second in Sadge.
ARIES
On the 1st, the full moon in Scorpio occurs in your 8th house. This moon illuminates areas like credit, insurance, mortgages, royalties and financial resources you share with another – a partner, parent, child. If you don’t like what you see, then lay out a strategy for correcting things.
On the 4th, Mars in your sign squares Jupiter in Cancer. This one looks like trouble of some kind at home. A disagreement or argument about something you’re doing – or not doing – related to family and your personal environment. Jupiter, meanwhile, continues to expand your options with your family and home until June 29, when it enters Leo.
The 5th brings another square, this one between Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius. This aspect may result in you’re not getting paid for a project or for something else you’re doing. If you charge your network membership fees, the trouble could be connected to that.
Then, finally, on the 10th, there’s a positive aspect to celebrate! The sun in Taurus, in your income area, sextiles Jupiter in Taurus. Money arrives. Maybe you’ve rented out a room in your home and the income is from the renter. Or perhaps you have a garage sale and money comes in from that.
The 16th brings a new moon in Taurus, in your income area. It’s conjunct Mercury. New opportunities surface for earning income and today your communications concern that. You may be seeking clarification about one of these opportunities, nailing down the details. Let your intuition guide you on your selection.
The trine on the 26th is between the sun in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. Today you’re communicating with and about your network of friends and colleagues. Everything unfolds smoothly, almost effortlessly.
The 31st brings the second full moon of the month, in Sagittarius, in your 9th house. This moon illuminates your worldview, spirituality, and your interest in foreign countries and cultures. If you’re planning a trip overseas, pay attention to the news about TSA and all the other chaos. Then decide about whether you want to take the trip and where you’d like to go.
TAURUS
On the 1st, the full moon in Scorpio occurs in your 7th house of partnerships, both personal and professional. You should now have a much clearer idea about these partnerships – what works and what doesn’t. Once you know those things, you can create either try to resolve the situation or end it.
On the 4th, there’s a square between Mars in Aries and Jupiter in Cancer. This may create an issue with something you’re doing behind the scenes. Maybe it’s a side gig or your relationship with a therapist or counselor.Miscommunication is the culprit and it’s probably smart to wait until the 10th to resolve it, when aspects are friendlier.
The 5th brings another irritating square, this one between Mercury in your sign, Taurus, and Pluto in Aquarius.
